THE proposed abolition of the marine corps
in of those practical reforms which COM
mend themselves to everybody yet are never
carried out The marine corps is a sort of
ornamental fifth wheel to the government
coach. IT is one of those time honored hum
bugs thai have come down to US from a
former generation, bearing the stamp of APP
proval by the fathers and permitted to exist
simply because it does exist. The original
object of the marine corps was to do sort
of police duty on shipboard, but under the
present organization of our navy they have
practically duty at all, at least none that
could not be easily dispensed with. Barring
the band. which is stationed at Washington
and makes excellent music at the Presidents
receptions and other state occasions, it never
would be missed.

The operation of paternal government
shows itself in small as we'll as in great
things. The German government which con-
trolls the railroads and telegraphs also under
takes to fight the Colorado beetle. A cable
gram referring to the appearance of this Amer
lean invader in Germany says that in fields
where the beetle had made its appearance the
crops were appraised, to be afterwards paid for
by the government, the vines were pulled to-
gether, drenched with petroleum and destroy
ed by fire. That is heroic treatment and one
can hardly help admiring the prompt and
thorough action of the government authorities.
The fact that American farmers never
think of looking to the government for
aid in such emergencies illustrates the
difference between paternal and non paternal
government and the corresponding influ-
ence on individual character. While
the German farmer was folding his hands in
despair and waiting for the government to
attack the beetles, the American farmer
would 60 to work and make war against the
pests on his own account, and ten chances to
one it would be less costly and more effective
than the government measures. Paternal
government is destructive of individual indie
pendence and enterprise. The less government
interferes with the individual or with things
that can and ought to be done by private eff
fort and enterprise, the more likely the indi-
vidual is to become what the Creator. intended
he should. That is the best government that
is the least felt and that touches the individ-
ual at the fewest points.

The typographical Union.

q
The Typographical Union is certainly possessed
of more appetite for fighting than discretion
or power to victories when it gets into
row. Within the last few months it has forced
ruptures with the principal newspapers of Mont
gomery Ala, Milwaukee and Indianapolis and
the result is that in every one of these cities the
union has been virtually disposed, and the
chief composing rooms of them all open to
we'll to union printers. Now
comes another little of the sort in
Fort Wayne, Ind. The Gazette, of that city,
had dispute the other day with its union
printers a trivial question involving only
about SIS, and because the union was not allowed
to have things all its way, the Gazettes
printers walked out of the Office. Their places
were promptly filed, and the paper is now one
of the large and fast growing number of dailies
which are wholly free from union tyranny. Let
the Typographical Union persevere, and it will
soon lose all the ground it now holds.

AS has been predicted, Senator John Sher-
man was elected to head his home delegation
to the State convention this week. The con-
vention adopted the following resolution, with
great enthusiasm:
''The Republicans OF Richland county, in
convention assent led, have an honest pride
in the record of John Sherman. His public
career began with the birth of the Repu blcan
party, and he has grown and developed with
the growth of that great organization. His
wisdom, industry and patriotism stamped
upon the records of the party, the statute
books and the constitution of the country, and
for years, as now, he is conceded the leading
statesman o Ohio. We believe that, with
out disparagement of others, his nomination
for the Office of President would be wise and
judicious- He WILL in our judgment, be the
strongest of candidates and, if elected the
safest of Presidents. We therefore instruct
the delegates to the State convention from
Richland county to support resolution of in
dorsement presenting to the Republicans of
of the country as Ohio's candidate for the
presidency. John Sherman"

there is much binding force in the sanctity Of an
